江苏沿海地区经济发展的实证分析

在世界版图上，经济社会发达的地区与城市大多分布在沿海。从江苏省内经济带、城市竞争力、省际沿海地区比较等角度对江苏沿海地区的经济发展现状进行了实证考察，发现江苏沿海地区目前处在“洼地”状态，“沿海地区普遍比内陆发达”这一规律，在江苏这一经济大省内部尚未得到体现。

Empirical Analysis on the Economic Development in Jiangsu Coastal Region

The result show that the economy in Jiangsu coastal region is less developed compared to other regions, which contradicts the general regularity.
